Some odd facts are occasionally found Just
beneath most commonplace surface. Hap
penng in a large nat and cap establishment
whoiesaie--the other day, inquired for the
proprietor. A boy about IL years old was
pointed out to me- But want to see the
proprietor" | said a am the proprietor of
this store-what can do for YOU" exclaimed
the lad. And, sure enough, investigation
proved that he was the actual owner of the
establishment, and nominally the head Of the
firm. His father had owned the store, but,
having other business as well and not wishing
TO carry them both in his own name, present
ell the hat and cap establishment to his II
year Old son and placed the boy in charge.
OF course the father still exercises general
control, but the legal head of the firm, signer
of checks, keeper of the combination of the
safe and man Of authority Is the son. un

Those who are in the habit of INDUCING in
raw onions may he consoled for the mature
and able bodied odor which wraps them as in
veil, and causes men, women and children
to flee from their malodorous vicinity, by the
fact that onions are the best nervine known.
No medicine is really SO efiicacious in cases
of nervous prostration, and they tone up a
worn out system in a very short time Their
absorbent powers are also most valuable. es-
peciaily in times Of epidemic. 1t has re
peatedly been observed that an onion patch
in the immediate vicinity of house acts as Il
shield against the pestilence, which is very
apt TO pass over the inmates of that house.
Sliced onions in sick room absorb all the
germs and prevent contagion During an
epidemic the confirmed onion eater should,
however, eschew his usual diet, as the germs
of disease are present in the onion and con
tagion can easily result. Globe democrat

GLOW AND NOLAN TO MEET

GlOver's Turn Next.

1t is extremely doubtful that either
Cardiff or Killen will meet Sullivan in
four-rOund contest within four weeks,
one week apart. Cardiff says he will
not fight him except by London prize
ring rules to finish, and no reply has
been received from Killen, who is
away. CLOVIS offer to take the place of
either has created very favorable i'm
preston, and coupled with the fact that
he challenged the winner of the Car
diff-killen fight without being able to
get on match, shows that he means
business. He has been trying for the
past ten days to arrange fifteen-round
contest with Peter j. Nolan at Cincin-
natl for the gate receipts and side bet
of $1,000, if desired. Nolan replied that
he would be willing to fight Glow ten
round contest, but afterwards changed
it to six rounds, which Glow accepted.
Articles of agreement have been for
warded for Nolan'S signature. The
contest will come Off Oct. at Chester
park, Cincinnati, o. Charles E. Davies,
manager of Glover, has written from
Chicago wishing to arrange fifteen-
round contest with Glow, and if Nolan
does not accept and Sullivan refuses to
come, unless two contests can be ar
ranged, Glow will accept Davies propo-
sitiOn to fight for 20 and 80 per cent of
gate receipts. Both men are very evenly
matched as regards weight and science,
and fifteen-round contest should be an
interesting one.

THE ST. LOUIS BROWNS.
They Refuse to Play a Game With
COIOred Men.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-The Times
this morning publishes the following:
For the first time in the history of base
ball the coler line has been drawn, and
that by the st. Louis Browns, who have
established the precedent that white
players must not play with colored men.
The Browns were in open revolt Satur-
day night. Some time ago President
Won der Abe arranged for his club to
play an exhibition game at West Farms.
near New York, with the Cuban Giants,
noted cOlOred club. He was prom
ised big guarantee and it was expected
that fully $4,000 people would be pres
ent. The game was to have been played
yesterday and President Won der Abe
had purchased railroad tickets for all
his players and made all arrangements
for the trip. While he was at supper at
the Continental hotel Saturday night
he was approached by O'Neil. the left
fielder, who laid letter ON the table
and then hastily slipped out of the room,
The letter read as follows:
To Chris Won der Ahe-Dear Sir: We. the
undersigned members of the St. Louis Base
Ball club, do agree not to play against negroes
tomorrow. We will cheerfully play against
white people at any time, and think by refus-
ing to play we are only doing what is right
taking everything into consideration, and the
shape the team is in at present. ". A.
Latham, John Boyle, j. E. O'Neili, Caruthers
Gleason, w. II. Robinson, Charles King,
Curt WEIGH.
Mr.. Won der Abe hastily left the table
and went down stairs, where he found
the players talking in a group. When
asked the meaning of the letter nobody
answered him. Even Latham, whose
Jaws are always going, could not get out
word. Receiving no response, he said
directly: ''As it seems to be matter of
principle with you, you need not play
tomorrow" The st. Louis players
were not disposed to talk of their action.
Capt. Comiskey did not know anything
about the matter and Knouff refused to
sign the letter. The Cuban Giants have
played games with the Chicago, Indian
apolis, Detroit, Louisville, Athletics and
other prominent clubs, and this is the
first time that any club has refused to
play with them on account of their
color,
